Description: This is a take off on the live journal community 30 Beverages, but I'm going easy on you! Write a drabble (strictly 100 words!) in your favorite fandom, using your favorite characters (or your not-so-favorite; I don't mind) and each of the following beverages:

I figure that most fandoms can handle these six things. Where there's a slash, you can choose one or the other. You can do pairings, whatever you want. The drabble just has to have the drink in it, and must be 100 words.

Description: The challenge: Write a story (may be one-shot, chaptered, etc.) no longer than 10 chapters long.
The Details: Story may be any genre, any category, anything.
The Catch: You must have 2 original characters. I don't care what role they play, major or minor, or what gender they are. Nor do I care what species they are, personality, anything. One of them can be a duck for all I care. The only thing is one of them must be named Rini, and one of them must be named Kazoo. You can respell either of the names however you want.

Description: Whatever we may say, the human pines to be beautiful...However, there are so-called "defects" of the body, the mind, the heart--that lead us to believe that we are less than perfect.

The end must have some sort of resolution to the problem the disease causes, and the feelings it stirs in the reader. In other words, make the ending as happy as possible. Also, it must be a reader-insert romance. Add as many other characters, make it AU, whatever, but please. There aren't that many requirements.

Description: The goal of this challenge is to write a story of at least 1000 words that (more or less) follows the plot of a popular love song.

The Catch: You CAN NOT reveal the lyrics, include them in your story, or let your readers know what the song is. They have to guess. =) (NO Songfics!) Hints are okay, so long as they aren't super obvious.

At the end of the story, prompt your readers to guess the love song.

Pairing: Any

Rating: Any

Bonus:
Bonus points if you can include any of the following:
- A box of chocolates
- Candy Hearts
- Boxers w/ red hearts on them

Description: Nearly everyone remembers their first kiss. It's one of the most awkward, frightening, and memorable moments of life.

The Goal: Your mission is to write a story of at least 1000 words that involves someone experiencing their first kiss.

The Catch: The catch is that the couple cannot be "perfect." The guy cannot be everything the girl is looking for and visa versa. (That goes for same-sex couples too.) It has to be awkward and maybe a bit frightening. The goal here is realism.

Pairing: Any

Rating: No higher than 13+

Bonus:
Bonus points if you can include any of the following:
- Bumping noses accidently while trying to kiss

Description: Over two feet of snow fell last night and school / classes has just been canceled. Most roads of impassable and the authorities are encouraging everyone to stay home. So what are bored people supposed to do with their time? Oh, what fun we'll have!

Goal: Write a story of at least 1000 words that involves the boredom and mayhem that ensues after a freak snowfall in February. The funnier and wilder the better.

Description: On February 20th, cities around the world celebrate the final day of Carnival -- most commonly known as: Mardi Gras. Carnival itself is a two-week holiday that takes place before Ash Wednesday / Lent.

The Goal: The goal is to write a story of at least 1000 words about Mardi Gras, Carnival, or a city-wide party.

The story can take place wherever you wish, including in New Orleans, LA. It can be serious or silly, citrusy or clean, religious or just fun, it's all up to you. You can also simply write about a wild, city wide party if your fandom doesn't take place somewhere where Mardi Gras would be held.

Pairing: Any

Rating: Any

Bonus:
Bonus points if you can include any of the following:
- An ornate mask
- A Ball (as in formal dance)
- Throws (items thrown from floats, such as bead necklaces)
- A parade
- A "paddywagon" (large police van meant to transport large groups of arrested individuals)

Description: This is a test of wits, and your ability to repeat yourself without being redundant. What do I mean, you ask? Well, what I mean is this. I want you to select one of the catagories above, I really don't care which, and write a fanfiction story, fanfiction poem, original prose, or original poem, that meets the following requirements:

Your entry must have the word 'love' in it. Your entry must be at least fifty words long, no word cap above that. And, the real kicker, it must have four of the terms on the list below in the entry:

Description: The title basically explains it all. Your challenge, should you take it, is to write a fic in which two characters are at war with one another. I don't care what type of war, be it epic or merely seeing who can get the upper hand in playful banter. They just have to be at odds with one another for some reason. Now, the catch is you gotta fit love in there someplace. Whether they love each other and just don't want to admit it, or fall in love, or are working to keep their love doesn't matter, but there's gotta be a bit of love somewhere. Does not need to have a happy ending, though happy ones are preferred ^_^.

The only real rule is to make it a reader insert or make up an original character. So you/oc X fanfic character for the story. Any category really but the games up there are the ones I'd like to see chars from ^_^. Dark, angsty, cutesy, sweet, romantic, cliche, limes, lemons, really I'm up for anything. Pretty easy, right?

Description: Cooking can be a challenge in itself, but your challenge might even be greater. What I would like to see is a fic based on the culinary arts! Yes, I want to Cid cook up a beautifully presented lamb or Zell bar-b-quing hot dogs! Most anything goes, as long as it deals with food. Any characters, though I'd love to see something from FFVII (as always). Your fic does NOT have to be based off the show, I just used the name cause I like it :P. Though I wouldn't mind seeing Seph and Cloud go at it, or maybe something like Seph, Kuja, Kefka, and Ultimecia compete in a cook off. Anyway, now to the guidelines O_O.

1. There must be some form of cooking involved in the fic (i.e. stove top, bbq, dutch oven, baking, even campfire cooking - whatever you want).

2. Fic should be at least 500 words, though 2000+ is more what I'm looking for.

3. The characters or character does not have to be good at cooking. The Iron Chef could be a complete culinary failure if you want *snickers* Either way I'm looking for extreme. Delectably delicious or ultimately unsavory.

That is pretty much it. Comedy, angst, romance, fluff, I really don't care *is easy to please* OOCs are just fine, just don't go completely OOC I'd like our fan chars to keep most of their personality. Double happiness if you can write something with chars from FFXII or FFVIII, we don't have enough fics there!!

Description: I want to read yuri (lesbian) lemons... i've looked all over and could only find two! I don't care from what show, game, book or whatever. I don't care who are the characters or if it's reader insert but please SOMEONE, AnYONE make me a yuri lemon :'(...
If you do and i like it i'll make something for you....
So please there are no rules other than it has to be a yuri (girl-on-girl)and it has to be a lemon...

Description: Here is your mission:
1. Find a Gary Stu character from one of your favorite Animes, Mangas, T.V. shows, whatever.
2. Plot: The reader or one of your own original characters has to start stalking the poor guy and preferably is jealous of them, wanting to destroy that person somehow.
3. The Gary has to find out about his stalker.
4. The story must somehow have blue smocks and pears in them.
5. The ending must not be a likable one for the stalker.
6. Abide the rules above and make sure you include a twist.
7. Have fun and don't be afraid to be kinky! ^_^

Description: Yes, you heard me right: band camp. >D This is a challenge for (forgive me if you take offense at this) the band geek/nerd. Do try to keep it as realistic as possible, but canonly weird thing are, of course, exception. For example, if you write a Cardcaptors fanfic, magic is allowed, etc. This is basically your excuse to subject your favorite--or not so favorite--characters to the rigors of band camp!!

Other: *sigh* I'm kind of sad this has to be addressed, but it does. Any perverted band camp stories are allowed, but must be labled as such if you submit it. (XD I actually would find it hilarious.)

Description: These stories should be anyone of your choice that either Vincent loves, falls in love with or who loves vincent and he just will not tell them. Other than that there are no rules or anything else for this challenge.

Description: Straight from the depths of my mind, I present to you this challenge! The challenge is to write a story (from 100-15,000 words. I won't tear you a part if you're a few words under over) using one of the said instruments.

Rules: There's only two. You can breathe now.

1) You cannot present the instrument in something such as a band practice at school. That's too easy.

2) You can, however, have something along the lines of a person playing it on a street corner. I think that's a little harder to put in a story.

Description: Pick any bag of skittles (Original, Berry, Tropical, Smoothie, etc.) and any characters. Once you have done this, write a story with all five of the flavors found in your chosen bag! You can put it all into a one shot, or make it a five chapter story, any one of them is fine.

It must be reader insert and at the end of the story, the reader must say the line "Skittles, taste the rainbow." (Note: You can change that line around a bit if desired, but the sentence must contain those four words in it somewhere.)

Ah! A fellow member pointed out that I didn't say anything about ratings. Feel free to make it anything you want, all ratings are fine with me.

Description: I want crackficery. I want you to write the most crackiest crackficery in the history of fic! Or crack! But~! The one twist is that you must break my brain with logic! As in, start spouting off some random character's twisted logic, which confuses the poor little characters around them, for whatever reason. Even if the facts are unsound, or the subject matter completely off the wall, logic should be present. Even if the logic is completely and utterly twisted and unsound, it should be there! Entertain me!

Description: Okay, so you've all seen about a trillion "FLUFFEH YUNA X TIDUS!!!" fanfics, right?

But please. Yuna's a decent girl, fair enough, don't you guys ever get sick of reading about the same characters OVER. And OVER. And OVER again?! Have some diversity, people! Yuna's character is only so interesting!

My challenge to all you writers, is to write a good TIDUS x READER or TIDUS x OC story. A one-shot, a continuous, whatever you'd like! Just go forth, and let your insane imagination take over. It's all yours. ^^

Description: Write 50 quick one-shot stories involving kissing. It can involve any fandom you want, as well as multiple fandoms. You have as long as you want to complete it, and each story can be as long as you want, from one sentence to thousands of words.
Good luck!

Description: Inspired by my latest obsession with songs by Bryan Adams. Now, I don't know how many of you listen to his stuff, but to those who listen (and like 'em), here's my challenge to you:

Write a fic that uses at least one of these following songs as a plot:
1) Run To You
2) (Everything I Do) I Do It For You
3) Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?
4) When You're Gone
5) Why Do You Have To Be So Hard To Love?
6) You're Still Beautiful To Me

You can, of course, differ a little from the songs, but just as long as the basic idea is saved. The story can be a one-shot or a multi-chapter excursion, it can be sweet and fluffy or just plain lime-and-lemon-flavoured. Play with parts, play with POVs, everything's pretty free, so long as you stick to the songs pretty faithfully. Hm. I suppose that's all, folks. Happy writing, people!

Description: I'm very bored. And I'll like to see any one-shot, ficlet or drabble containing any of these phrases. It should have least one of theses some where in it. (I'll be putting this on Freedom of Speech: Fan Fiction too, once they've fix the challenge section.)

Phrases: (Either said by a character or on(in) a book/bill board/shirt that a character reads from.)

(On the back of a motorcycle rider's t-shirt) If you can read this, then the bitch fell off.

Basically, write for anyone, so long as you use the prompts. They don't have to be used in order, and they can cover any topic, so long as romance is mentioned (obviously). If you want a prize for completing it, let me know and I'll send something over :3

(Also write something for one of my favourites and I might actually marry you).

Description: Alright, I know this may be odd, but I would like a reader-insert where the reader is stalked by a bishie, who is in love with the reader. Here are some guidelines I would like:

1. The stalker does not have to be the guy the reader ends up with in the end, but he DOES have to be important to the story.

2. Lemons are appreciated, but not required.

3. It MUST be a reader-insert. No OCs, please.

4. Songfics are fine.

5. I would prefer a chaptered fic, but a one-shot is fine.

6. Crossovers are accepted (and encouraged) if you wish.

Well, that's all I've got. The rest is up to you. I'll pretty much go with anything; love triangles, vampire fics, ect. The more original and creative the fic, the better. Good luck!

(Edit) Wow, I'm glad people are already responding! I'M NOT A FAILURE!!!! T^T *is hit by bowling pin* oww... Oh well... By the way, under characters I will start adding certain characters that I perticularly wish to have stories done for, but you don't have to do them (I would just really appreciate them done, especially Hao/Zeke, whatever you wish to call him *hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge, SHOVE SHOVE*). Again, good luck!

Description: I would love a CloudxDemyx story, since there are hardly any around. In fact, I don't think there ARE any.
I would prefer it to be:
-:::A Lemon (A classy one, at that, please)
-:::Have some humour in it - as in humour in the dialogue

I don't mind what perspective it's written from, whatever you feel most comfortable with.
I don't really mind about the length either, but longer ones are encouraged.
:)

Description: I like the manga Absolute Boyfriend and I found it to be funny and cute, though a bit sad at the end. But what I'm going for is a crossover. Such as...what if one of the characters in Naruto or Yu Yu Hakusho, or some other anime were dolls? And what if the Reader got stuck with one of them? Or you can do it the other way around, what if they were stuck with you? As their Absolute Girlfriend?

This can be any anime, game, book or whatever. All that I ask is that it be a reader-insert and not a drabble or ficlet. Meaning that this must be a one-shot (1000 or more words) or a fic. You can choose the pairings and such.

Description: What you need to do is write 5 one-shot/drabbles that are based around a 5 different random words from the dictionary. I will supply you with the words and definitions.

But there are rules.

1. Multiply however many letters there are in the word by two and that's how many minutes you have to write it
2. You may use any anime/manga, book, movie whatever, but please put a disclaimer
3. It doesn't have to have a pairing. It could be just about one character or OC

Okay, here are the words:

ENTOMOLOGY: n. the branch of zoology that deals with insects
BICENTENIAL: adj. happening every 200 years; n. a 200th aniversary
RECONAISSANCE: n. the survey of a region esp. to obtain military information about an enemy
(here's a funny one)
SPERMATOZOON n. the male germ cell, found in semen (I hope I don't have to put the rest of the definition....)
ANATHEMA n. 1. a person or thing accursed or damned 2. anything greatly detested 3. any strong curse

Description: In this challenge you write a multi-chapter story (or a long one-shot) about a reader's bishie plushie coming to life. Or if you want, you can have that the bishie somehow turns into a plushie and the reader finds them or something. Really, just have fun with this! It can be anything like fluff, lime, ecchi, or whatnot.

Description: We all know that there are just certain things and conversations that come out during a meal time that are not usually heard. My challenge is to write a short story, drabble or whatever you want that tells us the story of an....interesting meal time conversation or activity.

Rules (I know, I hate them too.)
-No slash fics please.
-Make it as mature or silly as you want.
-Bonus points if you can use a cannon character in a normal, real world situation without making it weird.
-There is no deadline.

Description: Submit a story/drabbles based on an album of your choice. Any album at all. By using the songs only found on that album, make each song the title and inspiration for chapters of the story and /or drabbles. You don't need to follow the lyrics to a tee, just grab some inspiration from whatever you get.

Conditions: If you're submitting a story, the chapters must be in the order of the songs on the album, No skipping or rearranging! If you're making drabbles, do them in any order, but they must be submitted the way the songs are arranged on the album regardless.

You can choose any type of story, any characters you want, anything goes!

Description: This is something that I have stolen borrowed from Chibi Pierceye's thread on GaiaOnline.

Basically, you choose a series of games, anime, manga, books, or TV. Then you create a list of characters and write their names on small strips of paper. The papers should then be placed in a hat and drawn as pairs. This creates a challenge couple, or a challenge pairing. You must continue this process until all names have been drawn. The actual challenge begins after this point. You are required to write a one-shot fan-fic for each couple created by the luck of the draw. Some pairings may be easy, while others may prove to be much more difficult.

Steps:
1. Choose a series or original story that you would like to write for. Anything and everything is usable by all.
2. Choose eight characters from your chosen series or original story. Write each character's name twice on little strips of paper. You should have 16 little papers.
3. Put all the papers into a hat (or whatever you want to use) and mix VERY well.
4. Draw the names in pairs. Write each couple down in a list until all names have been drawn. Your list should have eight couples or pairings.
(Note: You may redo this process up to three times, if you feel that some pairings are absolutely impossible to write for. Once you choose a final list, however, no changes may be made.)
5. Write a one-shot fic for each pairing on your list. Minimum of 500 words, but I'd love you forever if you made it 1000 or over.
6. Any rating is acceptable.
7. Have FUN!

I'll give you a [virtual] cookie if you use Bleach, Naruto, or Blood + characters. Two if you use Runefactory (Fantasy Harvest Moon) or The Queen's Knight characters.

Description: Evil temptress who ensnares her victims in lies and leads them to misery and or death. An assassin with many forms, although average in beauty, but extraodinary charm. She has unique methods to harm her victims, and has yet to be caught by anyone. But the man she loves wants to end her before her havoc corrupts others.

How this story ends, and forms is up to you. But the rules, can not be broken:

1. No magical powers or extraodinary appearance, especially if it's not cannon.
2. This must be CYOA
3. This is OC, Reader Insert, and Author insert friendly. (I, personally would love to see an OC for a change -- a believable one, at that.)
4. There must be a near death experience for someone.
5. No instant love.
6. Biggest challenge is incorporating your biggest fears in the story somewhere.

Description: My Paper Heart by All American Rejects, an awesome song. Write any fic, for any category, featuring or based off this song. No deadlines, no rules. I just want to see how others can interpret my favorite AAR song!

Description: Lately Iíve been very fascinated with nursery rhymes and obviously I would like you to write any kind of story you want that involves them. You can use any category like anime/manga or an original story, ect. They can be one-shots or dabbles, I donít care just make sure that you put the nursery rhyme in the story. I would like it if you could tell what the nursery rhyme means and why you wrote what you did for that specific rhyme. No deadlines.
Rules
1. Has to have good grammar
2. No OOC
3. Nursery rhyme in story
4. Why you used that rhyme
5. No less than 5
Have fun writing!

Description: I really enjoy reading stories that delve into more than just one human emotion.
I'd like you to explore 25 different emotions that are consistent in romantic relationships.
Rules:
[1] Must be drabbles.
[2] Must be reader-insert.
[3] It can be Reader/Various but it doesn't need to be. You can have the reader tied down to one person.
[4] Anything goes from there on, the drabbles can contain whatever the hell you want. Rating doesn't matter. And lastly, the whole thing doesn't have to be serious. If you can find a way to twist an emotion so it's humorous, then do it. Hilarity is always a good thing :]
[5] Well, this isn't really a rule but I just like the number five. I'd love you forever if the drabbles were based off of Death Note, Bleach and/or Katekyo Hitman Reborn! characters.
srsly.
Knock yourself out ;D

Description: It's simple, a collection of ficlets (a story that falls between 500 - 1000 words) that all have a theme. The themes are listed below and you must follow the order that they are in don't have to follow the order that they are in but if you want to challenge yourself than do so. And if you run into a word that happens to have more then one meaning than you're free to choose the one you like the best.
